Paris Hilton is not backing down in her fight to protect vulnerable children. Following a major victory in the Senate last week, Hilton is taking her advocacy to the next level by heading back to Capitol Hill to rally support for her “Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act,” as reported by TMZ.

In a heartfelt open letter published Monday, Hilton shared her own harrowing experiences at a youth treatment facility, urging members of the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the bill before the Christmas break.

The socialite-turned-advocate opened up about the trauma she endured, describing how she once believed silence would erase the pain.

“I carried a deep, unspoken pain for most of my life,” Hilton wrote. “I thought if I didn’t talk about it, I could pretend it never happened. But silence doesn’t heal—it protects those who inflicted the harm.”

Hilton said that speaking out about her abuse was one of the hardest things she’s ever done, but also the most liberating. Her courage has inspired countless other survivors, many of whom have shared similar stories of abuse and neglect at youth treatment facilities.

Last week, Hilton celebrated one of the biggest wins of her advocacy journey when the Senate passed the bill unanimously. Calling it “one of the best days of my life,” she’s now urging the House to act swiftly and push the legislation to President Biden’s desk.

With the 118th Congress set to wrap up within a week, time is of the essence.

The proposed legislation aims to overhaul the treatment of children in institutional settings, implementing stricter oversight and accountability measures to prevent abuse.

For Hilton, the issue is deeply personal. Over a year ago, she bravely recounted the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse she endured at Utah’s Provo Canyon School.

Since introducing the bill, Hilton has worked tirelessly, bringing her story to the forefront of the national conversation and demanding change. Her efforts are part of a broader push to ensure no child suffers the way she and so many others have.

Hilton’s relentless dedication highlights a transformation from tabloid darling to a serious advocate for reform. With the bill’s fate hanging in the balance, she’s using her platform to keep the pressure on lawmakers.

“This isn’t just my fight—it’s a fight for every survivor who’s been silenced,” Hilton declared.

As the clock ticks down, the ball is now in the House’s court. If passed, the legislation could represent a monumental step toward protecting children from institutional abuse.
